Clearly I haven't been turning over enough stones in my search.</p> <p><b>Laura</b>, I like the Chelsea style if it's on the more refined side, but oftentimes they tend towards rugged or the ankle isn't fitted enough or the shaft isn't quite as high as I want (most I see are under 6").</p> <p>I'm particularly drawn to the rust color of the second Chelsea boot that <b>annagybe</b> linked to. And <b>viva</b>, please keep me updated on the Louise et Cie booties! I had collected them previously in Finds because the ankle fit looks promising, but not sure about shaft height.</p> <p>I also dug up the Blondo Zena bootie that Angie recommended in a roundup... the "honey brown" color does not go with my wardrobe at all, so I'd have to get black, but the shaft and heel are right and one review says that the ankles run small. I just wish the style was a bit more edgy and less classic.</p> <p>For now I think I'll order the Aldo rust booties, since they're a great price. I'm headed to a tax-free state for Thanksgiving so next month is a better time for me to shop higher-end at Nordstrom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-luck-finding-flat-high-shaft-booties#post-1572689 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 19:07:19 +0000 Elizabeth P 1572689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you seen the Franco Sarto "Margin"?<br />Perhaps you don't want buckles... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-luck-finding-flat-high-shaft-booties#post-1572685 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 18:55:56 +0000 Liz A. 1572685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What qualifies as a higher shaft boot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-luck-finding-flat-high-shaft-booties#post-1572683 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 18:50:16 +0000 viva 1572683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered these, but I am not sure they are high enough shaft for what you are looking for.

I also have narrow ankles so looking for a ~9" opening, making things harder. Ideally the perfect booties would also be under $200 and not black/brown/grey, but I'll settle for black if it fulfills everything else.</p> <p>Anyone have advice on where I should be searching when Nordstrom comes up empty? Or maybe I'm just being too picky with online browsing and need to order stuff to try on in person?</p> <p>Attached in finds are two pairs of booties that have the shape I'm looking for but the (modest) heel is still too high for all-day walking. </p> <p>UPDATE: I ordered the burgundy suede Chelsea booties that <b>annagybe</b> shared, and I'm keeping them! The ankle isn't quite as narrow as I'd like but close enough to avoid the flowerpot look, and the shaft is high enough for the "look." I got the smallest size (6) and did my usual trick of adding drugstore insoles for both comfort and taking up extra room, since my true size is a 5.5. I have never bought Aldo shoes before, but the quality seems pretty good for the price and the pull-tab on the back is very soft (not irritating).</p>
